The heat wave is making people delirious.

" they're the best team to never win an All-Ireland but contrary to the history books, this is a team full of winners."

Its getting to embarrassing levels now on Social media and indo media fawning over the peoples champs.

The only sure thing on annual basis in the GAA that Mayo would not win the all Ireland.

Yeah, the best team not to win the All-Ireland is the 1982 Kerry team

also failed to win '83 All Ireland   8)

That team won't plenty AIs
You can forget about Sean Cavanagh as far as he's a man!

ONeill

But Mayo captured a right few hearts. I hated them in 89 and 04, but only having experienced the elation of multiple Sams you finally understand it. Their hunger can't be matched by any county. Throw in the quality of that recent side. 3 AIs wouldn't have over achieved.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Think the mayo team that lost in 2012/13 were not nearly as good as the 2016/17 version, the latter team were a lot more streetwise and had better forwards , think the 16/17 team would have won the 2 earlier all Ireland's .

Ohtoohtobe

Maybe there's something wrong with me but I've never really cared that much whether they won the AI or not.

Possibly, however the part I tried to highlight is the "this is a team full of winners." part of that sentence. Oh we laughed.

Mayo possibly the best team never to win an alright, sure didn't they run the greatest team of all time very close.

16/17 teams showed signs of wear and tear on route to both finals even though some claimed it was part of their plan to peak later, a theory i never bought into. The 2013 team was probably their best team in the best form.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Waterford hurlers late 90s on were similar to.this Mayo team. Ran into one of the great teams . Would probably have won an all Ireland otherwise. Gave some great performances.  Loads of all stars.
Waterford have been waiting since 59. Mayo since 51.

QuoteCan't believe a Sligoman would be fawning over Mayo to that extent. Everyone's favourite other side my hole.

Sweeney is the same as the rest of them and trying to win us back, that's all. We were lions led by donkey's a while back in his mind. It was the same years back when the same clown criticised Joe Smidht and the Rugby lads as some sort of posers. He got that wrong too and ended up fawning over them after their success.

No Mayo person is seeking this out, it's media driven page filler nonsense. It's a pity as I used to like reading him and the Rovers stuff but he is just a fraud like a lot of them. Maybe the Cork lads have knocked the Sligo out of him.
